Howard Assembly Room, 32 New Briggate, Leeds

Elliot Galvin plus Laura Jurd with Martin Green lineup for a special double bill presented in partnership with JazzLeeds. Pianist Elliot Galvin is a long-time trailblazer with four solo albums that have seen him earn wide critical acclaim. He’s joined for this performance by violinist Mandhira de Saram, bassist Ruth Goller and drummer Sebastian Rochford.

 One of the most distinctive voices in jazz, Laura Jurd’s unique approach to the trumpet is celebrated in the work that she creates. Recently, her love of traditional music has deepened, having played alongside the likes of Irish fiddle player Ultan O’Brien and English accordionist Martin Green (one third of super-group Lau). Tonight’s performance sees Laura join Martin in a one-off duo setting, exploring music from Laura’s most recent album.
